And here is the U.S. cover for Maggie Stiefvater's upcoming standalone novel The Scorpio Races
. Due out October 18th, precious few details are floating around about this one. But I am certainly intrigued. So far my favorite "official" words (of the like 20 there are being used to describe it) are: pair, race, and cliff. Of course, Maggie's are pretty good, too: blood, beaches, and kissing. I kind of like that we're not being inundated with info on this one. Makes for a refreshing change of pace. And I'm digging that pretty cover. So, I'm thinking I'll definitely be checking it out just as soon as I can.
There's really very little to say, isn't there? I hope you are well, wherever you are. I hope that your loved ones are. I hope that you're finding small ways to stay afloat, to remain connected to something, someone, someplace (real or fictional) that sustains you. Dark and difficult times, indeed. I've rather been holding on to this review. I felt so much, so quickly, so irrevocably for this book that it rapidly became hard to talk about to anyone who hadn't read it. And so I hope I can do it justice, just barely enough justice that, if you haven't, you'll run right out and do so. Now is the perfect time. I feel strongly that this book is what you need in your life at this moment. And so. You might want to prepare yourselves. I'm about to wax rhapsodic. But first, and introductory excerpt: At the end of that session, Fay said, What if it's not what happened with this boy you regret, it's you? It's the you who you left behind. It's ...

I am hoping to snap Scorpio Races at BEA! Thanks for sharing the cover :-D
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's nice they're not telling us EVERYTHING about this book, but just a tiny bit of info would be nice. It's hard to be excited about something when I know absolutely nothing about it.
ReplyDeleteI am at the point in my Maggie Stiefvater fandom that I will read anything she writes....needless to say, I will be reading this!
ReplyDeleteI love all books by Maggie Stiefvater. The cover of this one looks amazing. Thanks for the heads up!

I Heart Reading
Thanks for the heads up! I knew she was writing a new series, but hadn't seen the cover nor read those sparse words about it. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI really love the font on that cover. I'm looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I really like it. I'm also hoping to grab this one at BEA but I'm sure the line will be very long. Will miss you this year.

I have LOVED EVERYTHING Maggie has written...needless to say that The Scorpio Races has been pre-ordered! Can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm the only one who's read this already... if you are a fan of Maggie, she wrote this as a short story and it was included in the Merry Sisters of Fate Anthology that was published a couple of years ago. It might spoil some things about the story but if you can't wait for the fall, you can get a head start.
